Franco's Restaurant In Lacco ameno

My husband and I travelled to Italy for our honeymoon in October. One of the stops on our list was Naples (pizza), however we decided to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and make an island getaway to Ischia. We treated ourselves to a stay at the San Montano resort, and were truly so spoiled in the days we spent there. The first surprise was a complimentary upgrade to one of the infinity pool suites. Complimentary shuttle services transported us to and from the ferry terminal, the main town, and to the Spiaggia di San Montano, where lounge chairs and umbrellas were provided for hotel guests. We could have stayed at that beach all day. On a day when we wanted to travel further afield on the island, the concierge assisted us with booking a taxi and giving some direction for our adventure. Breakfast was a delight and featured fresh balls of mozzarella, a ham and salami slicing station (!), freshly baked bread, and an impressive array of muesli, dried fruits and nuts, sweets, and homemade jams and preserves. I highly recommend the lemon marmalade. The cocktails and menu at the dining restaurant were delicious (but expensive), and the wait staff went above and beyond to ensure an enjoyable experience. The infinity pool suite was spacious and well kept by the cleaning staff, and we visited the complimentary spa, sauna, steam room and mineral bath every day. We loved all of the outdoor pools and the amazing views afforded by being up on the mountain, but were especially impressed by the sea pool. The “natural sauna” was not super hot but was very unique and something I had never experienced. We also treated ourselves to the limontano massage package, which was heavenly. We were so glad to be able to stay at the San Montano and would absolutely love an opportunity to return for a special occasion.
